Finally hit 50 today, and finished up my level 50 monk quest, so got the yellow shirt, and more importantly, dragon kick. And, I haven't even attempted Operation Archon yet.
I hit 46 doing the main quest, and then came the point that I needed to hit 49 before being able to continue it. So, I went out and farmed flame leve's, and did the 47 dungeon about 4 or 5 times (you really get to seeing just how incompetent alot of players are in that dungeon).
So, I get 49, and head back to the main quest place....and what do I see, side quests for levels 47 and up :\ I really wish I'd seen those earlier. Knocked them out, and managed to get 50 with them So, all thats left now, is to finish up the main story line. Then, I suppose it's farm armor, or weapons, or whatnot. Plus, leveling up other classes.
But, you know, I played everquest for many, many years. I was never in a top tier raiding guild, but we did raid, alot. We also farmed dungeons, alot. Later, when the instances opened, we farmed those like crazy also.
As much as I loved the game way back when...I'm sort of burned out on that stuff, ever since then. I'd like to see all the dungeons...once, and then never go back, unless it's just for the heck of it. Same with raiding. I've never been interested in any kind of pvp (being in a quake team fortress clan for a long time burned me out of anything competitive too).
So, now I'm left to wonder, how long will I continue to play the game. I've sincerely loved the game up to now, but I doubt it will hold my attention, since I've come to despise anything end game related.
Leveling up alternate classes and jobs sound perfect, in theory. But, since there are no quest left, and leveling them up means tedious fate grinding, I doubt I'd do it for very long before throwing in the towel.
Meh, perhaps I've just grown out of mmo's, in some way.
